Metal Signs & Signage
If you’re after signage that’s sleek, simple, and made to endure, metal is hard to beat. Metal signs resist warping, cracking, and fading, and they carry a visual confidence that softer materials just can’t match. Whether you’re installing exterior metal signs for a storefront or adding refined wayfinding indoors, metal signage offers durability without distraction.
One of the biggest advantages of signage metal is its versatility. Mount it on a wall, hang it from a bracket, or place it street-side as a standing sign. Metal signs for outdoors are especially well-suited to high-traffic areas, cafés, restaurants, and retail spaces where signage needs to look good and hold up to daily use.
George & Willy’s range of aluminum signs includes blade signs, A-frame signs, standing signs, door signs, and metal bathroom signs — all designed with clean lines and a minimal aesthetic. From swinging blade signs for narrow streets to foldable sandwich boards for café walk-ups and weekend markets, our collection covers a wide range of commercial signage needs.
Our custom metal signs are primarily made from powder-coated aluminum, chosen for its balance of lightness and strength. This makes our custom metal signs outdoor-ready, while still easy to install and move when needed. The powder-coated finish helps prevent rust, protects against the elements, and maintains a smooth, matte surface over time. For those after a heavier, more industrial feel, we also offer select steel signage options.
Are George & Willy metal signs weatherproof?
Yes. Our metal signs for outdoors are designed to withstand sun, wind, and rain. Powder-coated aluminum is naturally rust-resistant and won’t peel or bubble like painted alternatives. These exterior metal signs are well-suited to storefronts, footpaths, and other outdoor environments where reliability matters.
What finish is used to prevent rust?
We use a powder-coated finish, which creates a durable protective layer that’s more resistant than traditional paint. It gives our aluminum signs their signature matte texture while helping them stay looking good with regular outdoor exposure. It also enhances colour depth and tactile quality — an important detail for signage that’s both seen and touched.
What types of metal signs work best for different businesses?
- Hanging metal signs are ideal for narrow streets and pedestrian-heavy areas where visibility is key.
- Standing signs work well near entrances or as indoor wayfinding signage.
- Sandwich boards are perfect for daily messages, specials, or footpath placement — popular with cafés, restaurants, and markets.
- Metal bathroom signs help create visual consistency across commercial fit-outs.
- Door signs are ideal for displaying opening hours, open/closed messaging, and key store information.
What materials are used in George & Willy metal signage?
Our primary material is aluminum — it’s rust-proof, lightweight, and ideal for custom metal signs outdoor use. Some designs also incorporate stainless steel elements for added strength or contrast. This combination allows us to create durable metal signage that stays clean and considered in appearance.
